you should get a bio metrics appointment letter a little over a week after you receive the noa1. in the mail

1 month after bio metrics you usually get your work permit/ap card in the mail is a combo card now i think.

depends if you got no rfe or not

green cards can take about 6 months after boimetrics appointment it depends how busy they are

Thanks ...

Check my signature for my timeline. Fingers crossed everything runs smoothly!

Btw, I have a question regarding the Biometrics walk-ins a few people have mentioned. So rather than waiting for your scheduled date, you take a chance and just walk in ahead of time? if it works out, you can shave up to a week or two off the time it'll take you to receive your EAD/AP?
